PIX: Ameesha Patel's SKIMPIEST outfits

Sanjay Dutt may have taken notice of Ameesha Patel's plunging neckline only now but it's been a while since the actress took to flaunting her curves at social dos.

It's been a while since actress Ameesha Patel hit the headlines for something to do about her career but she's been in news nevertheless.

After launching her production house with much fanfare last year, the actress took to posing for shutterbugs in revealing outfits at social dos and flaunting her Hermes Birkins bags in various hues.

So it was a little surprising when Sanjay Dutt decided to give his once-good friend an earful when he saw her arrive in a cleavage and midriff-baring outfit during Rohit Dhawan's wedding celebrations.

Fact is, Ms Patel is a serial offender. Take a look.

At Imran-Avantika's wedding reception

While most of the guests opted for Indian wear, Ameesha wore a flowing Nishka Lulla gown that clinged to her bosom.

The actress attended the pre-wedding bash thrown by Sajid Nadiadwala and Fardeen Khan for good friends Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza.

Looks like Ameesha was tring to steal the bride-to-be's thunder. Why else would one wear that dangerously short black dress?

It was a blue short dress for Ameesha as she attended younger brother Ashmit's birthday party last year.

This happens to be an earlier version of what Ameesha wore at Rohit Dhawan's wedding party.

She wore a blue sari to Shilpa Shetty's wedding reception. The strategically-adjusted pallu left very little to the imagination.

The actress wore yet another version of the barely-there pallu at Shilpa Shetty's Diwali bash.

She wore a white dress and paired it with a classic Chanel bag and a cute pair of polka-dotted peep toes.

Despite the fashionable accesories, the dress grabbed maximum eyeballs.

The Man featured Ameesha as its cover girl for July 2010.

And true to her real life fashion sensibilites, the actress struck a flirtatious pose in a sparkly bikini top and denim shorts.

When the Vero Moda fashion show came calling to the city, Ameesha wore a canary dress with a plunging neckline.

The actress's real life persona permeated through the role in Sanjay Dutt-starrer Chatur Singh 2 Star.

The actress wore a sari in her signature style.

This could be considered a serious upgrade, given her track record.

Ameesha wore an animal print dress that covered up her thighs but she couldn't resist showing some skin here too.

The incident involving Bipasha Basu and the red carpet faux paus notwithstanding, this seemed to be a daring choice even by Ameesha's standards.

It was, after all, IIFA awards were actresses go an extra mile to look glamorous and this one made Ameesha look a little underdressed.
